2. Description of the Related Art

Real-world sensing systems, including but not limited to those capturinggeolocation, temporal radius, duration, or segment, or video, audio,visual recognition of any kind, radar, and sonar, magnetic, motion, orhaptic sensing, or observed, sensed, or inputted events, generally sendinput directly to video or computer screens unmediated by computersystem decision support systems or notification generation systems, orsimply identify a sensed event as a recognized event in order to createan alert, notification, or corresponding notification about that event.

Sensed events are generally not processed to combine with meta data,attributes, or variables about that event in a way specifically intendedto work with a decision support system and/or a notification generationsystem.

Events are generally not created by users' combined presence in onelocation, nor is there any cyclic feedback loop with user created eventsas presented on public display screens.

Excluding autonomous robotics, the results of computer software systemsthrough which the real world is sensed and interacts with user cognitionis generally presented on computer display screens different than thosethrough which user cognition responds to, or guides interaction with,that which is sensed or observed. The sense and respond cycle does notduring its operation include the quantification or qualification of userresponse or evaluation of the system operating to present notificationsof action options.

In systems where users are presented with sensed events and actionoptions on the same screen, those action options may not have beenenhanced or coded as to their value, urgency or intensity, or notselected by a decision support system, or notifications may not havebeen processed through a notification generation system evolving tocreate more effective notification content, notification means, ornotification types for an individual user or defined set or class ofusers.

In those systems where decision support systems and notificationgeneration systems work together, a notification or notification typemay be simply bound to a particular recognized event through aone-to-one corresponding matching.

Response interface screens or means do not generally include the meansto track the response time of a user once they are presented with anaction option or upon their failure to act.

Response interface screens or means do not generally include the meansfor 1) a user to directly reject one or more, or all, action optionspresented, 2) the computer system to report a lack of response after aset time (a null) if there is no response from the user, 3) the user toview and select alternative action options not initially presented asoptimal, 4) the system to record, integrate, or learn from the lack ofresponse of a user, the time taken to respond by the user, the rejectionof action options or notifications by the user, the selection ofalternate action options by the user, or the evaluation or ratings ofpresented notification or action options by a user.

Response interface screens or means do not generally include the meansfor the user to customize or personalize the settings for notificationcontent, notification type, or notification means for a notification, anadvertisement, or an offer.

Advertisers are constantly seeking to increase engagement withaudiences.

Historically, consumers are considered to be targets of advertisingrather than subjects to participate in real-world related events.

Whereas web-based gaming joins multiple users in cyberspace, it does notjoin them related to their actual presence in such places as shoppingmalls, airports, commercial shopping districts, public arenas, movietheaters, or stadiums.

The dramatic increase in large display screens in public places offersthe opportunity to create or engage consumers with their mobile devicesand public display screens in a way that increases their interest inbuying, associating, or giving loyalty to brands, goods or services, intheir present or near time or location, or in providing valuableassociation with same.

Historically, no technology has been developed offering user engagementthrough mobile devices while simultaneously and interactively offeringengagement through large public display screens.

Therefore, there is a need for consumers using mobile devices, and largedisplay screens where those users are physically located or where thoseusers might see and interact with those display screens presentingsensed or observed events, including events created by the present usersthemselves, to be linked in new ways to accomplish new levels of jointengagement.

There is a further need for users with mobile devices in physicallocations with public display screens in such places as neighborhoods,shopping malls, airports, commercial shopping districts, movie theaters,public arenas, public events, or stadiums to be linked to each other andto other observing and interacting users watching through television,Web television, podcast, or other observation means in order that thoseusers not physically present might participate with those usersphysically present in events occurring on public display screens inthose physical locations.

Existing transport-to-buy or navigate-to-buy systems generally utilize adatabase of pre-existing goods or services locations for pre-existingproviders of goods and services. Updates may occur periodically throughlinking to means of updating same as opposed to interacting with thereal-time Web and mobile Web, including current user reviews or ratings.

Users of such transport-to-buy or navigate-to-buy systems may view theselocations and then manually enter addresses into the navigation system,or in some cases, select those goods or services locations toautomatically feed into the navigation system.

Advertisers are constantly seeking to understand identify, andincentivize consumers to buy.

Historically, advertisers use data and data analytics regardingconsumers in which the consumer individually, collectively, or ingroups, is studied as an object.

Historically, no technology has been developed offering the consumer themeans to participate in advertising or offers as a subject presentingtheir buying interest to sellers and advertisers.

Therefore, there is a need for a hardware-software advertising system toreceive solicitous communications from users regarding statedpreferences for, including but not limited to, desired goods orservices, desired pricing or discount level, distance radius where goodsor services are available, time window for desired shopping time orreceipt of an advertisement or offer, desired notification type of anadvertisement, desired notification means of an advertisement.

Further, there is a need for a means for a user to hold and makeavailable to external systems through a mobile device desires andpreferences for acceptable advertising and offers according to,separately or in any combination, 1) a time period and/or radius ofdistance, 2) the type of system that may access it, whether controlledby a password, key, definition, or other, of an inquiring system, 3) oneof the set-by-user states of a) broadcast data openly for any system tohear 165, b) allow data to pass to all inquiring systems, c) allow asystem to submit an approval request for approval by the user, or d) donot allow data to pass to inquiring systems, 4) any of the precedingaccording to a list of acceptable inquiring systems, 5) any of thepreceding in (3) according to a window of time and/or radius ofdistance, 6) any of the preceding in according to the recognition ofshared presence or presence not shared.

There is a need to present users with live mobile Web advertisements oroffers that include specific action options through notification systemsallowing for separate generation of notification content, ofnotification type, and of notification means, apart from thatadvertisement of offer or the associated action option.

There is a need to enable the means for the user to customize orpersonalize for an inbound notification, advertisement, or offer, thedesired notification content, type, or means, including but not limitedto factors of time or place of delivery, location of home, work or driveroute of a user, user's desired discount level, user's desired product,user's handicaps, age, sex, educational level, zip code, or other userset preferences, in order that those preferences might be next receivedby an on-board vehicular computer, or advertising display network inpublic display or on a mobile device, such as by near fieldcommunications, long range RFID, blue tooth, a wireless or cellularnetwork, or computer network.

There is a need for a notification generation system operatingindependently, but not without reference to, a decision support system,that provides action options to a user based upon rules established forresponding to real world events in particular contexts.

For example, in an automobile, a collision avoidance system might beginpumping the brakes with an ABS system, while a sound announces theaction. In this case the action option is hardwired, as is thenotification type. By contrast, a decision support system might presentmore than one action option to a user such as “brake,” and “swerve.” Anotification generation system might review more than one notificationcontent, i.e., “collision danger,” or “approach danger” in order topresent one of those to the user, and consider more than onenotification type such as in the form of a warning or an alert, and morethan one notification means, such as a voice command or flashing light,in order to select one from each of these in order to generate andpresent a notification to a user. The separate review and selection ofaction options, notifications, notification types, and notificationmeans enables a computer system to generate increasingly more effectiveaction options and notifications to assist a user in effecting rapidinformed actions in a computer system or in the real world in responseto events in the real world and in that computer system.

For a second example, in a shopping mall, or public venue, a certainadvertisement campaign might be triggered by a certain volume or densityof consumers in a sensed area, or another be triggered by determiningthe estimated average age of consumers present by calculating theirwalking speed, with the faster speeds attributed to young persons oradolescents, or the sound signature of their voices, with louder voicesattributed to young persons or adolescents.

There is a need for a user to be provided with a means to control onpersonal mobile devices, including but not limited to tablets and smartphones, whether personal content will be pushed, or allowed to bepulled, according to any given time, location, requesting entity,audience, qualification, or other, through any technological means,including but not limited to near field communications, blue tooth, longrange RFID, or a wireless or cellular network, with content itemslacking designated “neutral” and subject to a request to be pulled, tobe confirmed by a user.

For example using a similar system as earlier described in a distributeddisplay network such as those used in airports, shopping districts,shopping malls, or gas stations, advertisements and notifications mightbe generated based upon gestures, voices, pedestrian patterns, newsevents, weather conditions, or any real world condition, or the receivedpushed or pulled preferences and requests of user or the mobile devicesof users, or allowed pulled preferences and requests, from the personalmobile devices of passing users, by the means of, including but notlimited, to near field communications or long range RFID communicationsor wireless or mobile wireless networks, triangulated Wi-Fi signals, ordetectable flashing LED's with the response to those advertisement andnotifications being utilized to generate more effective and personalizedadvertisements and notifications, including, but not limited to, a linkto the means to provide step by step navigation to the location ofdesired goods or services.

Upon entering a mall, the user may have a personal mobile device set topush a request for running shoes that are discounted at least 50%. Themall system may respond with a request to pull additional informationfrom the user's personal mobile device. Upon acceptance by the user, themall system would pull content designated as receptive to being pulled,or content designated as neutral, such as the zip code of the user,based upon the user's confirmation of the mall system request. The mallsystem may recognize user's photos in content, through the means of ameta data tag or by other means, to be associated mostly with sportsevents and therefore a prime customer, or associated with a socialnetwork profile with associated meta data, and generate a personalizedoffer from the sports franchise store for the desired item plus teambaseball caps. The same process might also occur at a gas station, or inthe objectives of operators in operating situational awareness in senseand respond systems, with notifications and action options substitutingfor advertisements and offers.

There is a need for a distinct, recognizable notification, action buttonand system on the Web, mobile Web, or on a computer system or computernetwork, that can attach to an advertisement or offer on the Web ormobile Web, or a distinct symbol, shape, icon, or representation, thatwill cause the navigation system in a vehicle to be addressed, enablingthe user to select the button and receive visual and/or audio guidedinstruction or support to reach the real-world location where the goodsor services advertised exist or cause the vehicle, with or without auser controlling it, to proceed to that destination.

There is a need for a distinct, recognizable, action button and systemon the Web and mobile Web, or on a computer system or computer network,that can attach through the action of a decision support system to aparticular sensed or observed event in the real world appearing on anon-board vehicular computer system, computer system display means,and/or mobile device to generate an option to initiate an alteration incontrol to a sensing system, guidance system, decision support system,notification generation system, motion control system, navigationsystem, robotics system, weapons firing system, defensivecountermeasures system, or computer display means.

There is a need for users to be able to control by multiple and diverseparameters, the type of advertising, through what means, at what times,and in what locations, for what goods or services, at what levels ofdiscount, and other, expressed as stored preferences for inboundnotifications or advertisements in digital devices, including but notlimited to smart phones, tablets, and on-board vehicular computers, andmaintained as an ongoing dialog between stored preferences in personaldevices or vehicles computer systems on one side, and notificationcontent, types and means in advertising networks including offersresponsive to those preferences or requests from one or more personalmobile devices or on-board computers in vehicles on the other side.

There is a need for a notification generation system to generatenotification content, notification type, and notification means throughthe evaluation or integration of human factors including but not limitedto training level, fatigue level, fear level, threat level, age, mentalacuity, response time, ergonomic human comfort, and ergonomic humanmovement.

There is a need for a user, or groups, classes, or sets of users, toteach, train, interact with, or affect, decision support systems and/ornotification generation systems, specifically, through the use of directnegatives, rejecting one, or more, or all of the presented actionoptions of a decision support system, or through the use of nulls, beinga complete lack of response to the presented options of a decisionsupport system or notification generation system, or through theselection of alternate action options, through the recognition andintegration of responsive action not emerging from or part of the systemherein described, or through the use of direct user input through anymeans to the system described herein.

There is a need for a user, or groups, classes, or sets of users, toteach, train, interact with, affect, contrast, juxtapose, challenge, orcompete with another user, class of user, set or sets of users or groupor groups of users through 1) the use of response time quantification tothe presented action options of a decision support system and/ornotification generation system, or 2) the use and presentation ofalternate secondary action options to the presented action options of adecision support system or intelligence, or a notification generationsystem, or 3) the use of direct rejections of actions options ornotification, or 4) the system recording of a lack of response to directaction options or notifications, or 5) the iterative or cyclic responseto notifications presented on a computer display means, whether inmobile devices or a public display screen.

There is a need for a decision support system to offer, record,quantify, qualify, correlate, average, process, algorithmically deriveor synthesize the interaction of users, groups of users, or set of usersresponding to observed events on public display screens.

Computers systems of diverse purpose and design are becomingincreasingly networked.

Computer displays on one screen or notification means include multiplesources of information.

Interacting networks are becoming increasingly capable of effectingactions in the real world by selecting options on computer displays andby other means.

However, users cannot easily discern or discriminate, or judge theintegrity or veracity of presented information or notifications withoutknowing the kind or category of the source of the information, e.g., astill photo from a live Web cam vs. a Photoshop altered image.

Currently, multiple information sources appear without differentiationas to their category or division of source on a hardware-softwaresystem, comprising information sourced from 1) hardware-softwaresystems, 2) live video, web cams, or audio of real world scenes andevents, 3) user direct reporting of real world events experienced by theuser, 4) heuristic algorithmic, symbolic, or pattern-related, analyticcomputation, such as personalization, 5) hardware-software systemsensing and processing the real world such as the determination oflocation, or the time of occurrence of event, including but not limitedto, including but not limited to sensing devices, vehicle relatedcomputation, or robotic-related computation, 6) user comments, reviews,or choices, in response to real world events experienced by the user inthe real world, 7) user comments, reviews, or choices, in response toinformation presented on a hardware-software system, 8) heuristicexpert, rules-based, symbolic logic based, pattern matching, patternrecognition, or other computational means making determinationsregarding hardware-software sensed real-world events, 9) heuristicexpert, rules-based, symbolic logic based, pattern matching, patternrecognition, or other computational means making determinationsregarding hardware-software system events, or other unidentifiedinformation sources, 10) to be described herein, user stated preferencesof objectives intended to affect or solicit advertising or offers, or11) a stored representation of any of the preceding.

Currently, user selectable response options appear withoutdifferentiation as to their category or division of consequential resultvector, or the fact of the existence of an associated consequentialreal-world response result vector, on a computer display, the selectionof such option resulting in the effect upon, alteration of, a 1) ahardware-software system, 2) live video, web cams, audio sensing orother recording and sensing means, or their fixed or moving platforms,3) a carbon-based life form, 4) heuristic algorithmic, symbolic, orpattern-related, or analytic computational result, including but notlimited to, hardware-software systems, sensing devices, vehicle relatedcomputation, or robotic-related computation 5) a hardware-softwaresystem sensing and processing the real world, 6) user comments, reviews,or choices, in response to real world events experienced by the user inthe real world, 7) user comments, reviews, or choices, in response toinformation presented on a hardware-software system, 8) heuristicexpert, rules-based, symbolic logic based, pattern matching, patternrecognition, or other computational means making determinationsregarding hardware-software sensed real-world events, 9) heuristicexpert, rules-based, symbolic logic based, pattern matching, or othercomputational means making determinations regarding hardware-softwaresystem events, or other unidentified information sources, 10) to bedescribed herein, user stated preferences of objectives intended toaffect or solicit advertising or offers, or 11) a stored representationof any of the preceding.

Further, unlike events in the digital world, events in the real worldare generally irreversible.

Therefore, there is a need to know, when information in presented to auser on a hardware-software system, for the user to be informed of thecategory or division of the source from which that information is beingsourced.

Further, there is a need to know, before a response option is selectedthrough a hardware-software system by a user, for the user to beinformed of the category or division of the result vector that willarise from the selection of a response option.

Further, there is a need, once such selection has been made, for theuser to be able to abort the selection.
